Enabling cross launch to mid tier


If the mid tier is running on version 18.05 and later, a user might not be able to cross launch into mid tier because of the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter filter. This filter blocks the x-FRAME-OPTIONS header when you try to launch mid tier from different applications.

To overcome this issue, you can use either of the following options:

  • In the Centralized configuration, set the arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls parameter to either Self or URI.
  • From the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter filter in the web.xml file located in the <Install directory>\BMC Software\ARsystem\midtier\WEB-INF folder, modify the ClickJackMode parameter.

The settings in the Centralized configuration takes precedence over the settings in the web.xml file.

To enable cross launch to mid tier by using Centralized Configuration

Use the arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls parameter in the Centralized Configuration.

  1.  Open AR System Administration > AR System Administration console.
  2. Click System >  General >  Centralized configuration.

    This component is displayed only if you configure the AR System server by using the Centralized Configuration.
  4. From Setting name, select the arsystem.security_iframe_allowfromurls parameter.
  5. Use either the Self or URI option to set the parameter value.
